As of April 29, 2026, PJM Interconnection announced that 811 new generation projects worth 220 GW have applied to connect to the grid through the Cycle of PJM’s reformed interconnection process. [1] This is the first major intake to improve the certainty and speed of project review using a redesigned approach. PJM is beginning a validation phase to confirm which projects have submitted the required technical and financial information to move forward. The projects entering the queue include 106 GW of gas-fired generation, 67 GW of storage, 18 GW of nuclear, 15 GW of solar, 9 GW solar-storage hybrid and 5 GW of wind. As part of the reformed process, PJM expects to complete the project reviews in one to two years, depending on the project, by using the AI-enabled tool ‘HyperQ,’ developed by Google’s Tapestry. However, despite having 103 GW of signed interconnection agreements since 2020, many of the projects are either “not being built at all or are being slowed by hurdles such as state permitting and supply chain backlogs,” PJM warns.
